Conjunctions

What Are Conjunctions?

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together.

I like cooking  eating, but I don’t like washing dishes afterward. Sophie is clearly exhausted,  she insists on dancing till dawn.

Conjunctions allow you to form complex, elegant sentences and avoid the choppiness of multiple short sentences. Make sure that the phrases joined by conjunctions are pharellel (share the same structure.

Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions join independent and dependent clauses. A subordinating conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of relationship between the clauses. Common subordinating conjunctions are because, since, as, although, though, while, and whereas. Sometimes an adverb, such as until, after, or before can function as a conjunction
